Over the past decade, tech companies have become new & powerful players on the international stage. Borderless digital platforms & cutting-edge innovations in biotech, quantum computing, & artificial intelligence have not only revolutionized our way of life, but have also exponentially increased in speed, reshaping our institutions, norms, & values. These impacts are global in scale.
Moreover, the San Francisco Bay Area has been at the center of unprecedented events this year: broad-scale layoffs in the tech sector, bank failures in the spring, & the launch of generative AI such as Chat GPT. These events have created jitters in the region & the world. Indeed, resilience is required from both sides, society & economy, with regulators & innovators playing an important role.
The DWIH San Francisco will focus on resilient societies in 2023, & we'll look at how the Bay Area keeps advancing & innovating in the face of these problems. A resilient society must, at its foundation, recognize this complexity & find a balance between social responsibility & innovation. A society must welcome innovators from many multidisciplinary backgrounds to be resilient. Additionally, interdisciplinary formats & networking venues are required to be able to share ideas & combine strengths. Yes, Silicon Valley is no stranger to this approach, but how can an international perspective strengthen the resilience spirit? Together with our partners, we will respond to this query. We will discuss how to make the most of the advantages of business, government, & civil society.
